A quick and easy overnight cinnamon roll casserole that delivers a gooey, cinnamon-swirled breakfast treat perfect for lazy mornings and holiday brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 to 9 store-bought refrigerated cinnamon rolls (e.g., Pillsbury)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or 2% milk (dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk work too)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (can be substituted with extra milk)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional sugar glaze: 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons milk and a dash of vanilla

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Slice each refrigerated cinnamon roll into quarters or halves and arrange evenly in the baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, pressing gently to help them absorb the custard.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove cover and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and custard is set but still soft in the center.
  7. Let the casserole cool for 10-15 minutes before drizzling the optional sugar glaze over the top.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon-swirled casserole.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a smooth custard. Do not skip the overnight soak for best gooey texture. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Grease pan well to prevent sticking. For extra gooeyness, add more cream to custard. Gluten-free and vegan substitutions are possible.
